We stayed for 1 week . The hostel is very central . basic room but they have ants so don't leave bread or anything out . Great staff so nice and helpful . Free pool . Rooms have no telly but there is one downstairs . And in dining room . One thing that maybe needs to be looked at...

We stayed at the YMCA on two separate occasions during our tour of New Zealand. All four of us being in our more mature years we did not know what to expect.
In fact my own view is that it was a great experience which took me back to my youth. All of the staff on the reception were very...

This has been one of the best hostels in Auckland that I stayed in. Very secure, clean, tidy - all facilities are there. Reception staff are exceedingly friendly, very helpful and can always help with any bits that you may need. Very close to Queen Street, K Road and the CBD. Will most certainly stay here again.

Reception and commom area is nice, big tv, fussball, pingpong etc. i had a single room, which was clean with a decent sized fridge. Windows are single glazed and the road noise is a bit much. In hot months you'll want some fresh air, and with the window open you have a main road just below.
staff were so so....

I stayed four night, three in a dorm for 4 and one night in aingle room. Hostel was clean, staff friendly and location good. What I was missing and why I only give three stars? Kitchens were very small, same as dining room. There was only one small dining room in 5 floor hostel. Also lobby area wasn't very comfy,...

I stayed here in a single room in March 2015 and thought it was very good value for money. The whole building is like typical student accommodation and I just wanted something cheap and central. It was very clean and quiet. The showers were on another floor, but I didnt mind. I would come back if travelling on a budget...

This was one of the best place I have ever stayed at this price.
The staff was great and very very helpful.
So many in-house facilities like tea material, washing powder , WiFi etc at a fraction of cost.
Very nice and clean common kitchen and bathrooms.
Close to almost everything.
Will always stay at YMCA whenever in Auckland.

Had a late flight arriving into Auckland so went straight to the hostel to check in and go to sleep. Walked into our room to the most putrid smell, had the window open to try and get rid of the smell but it just didn't seem to leave. Throughout the stay not once did the room smell decent, at times...

When my itinerary brought me back to Auckland for the second time, I settled down for YMCA Auckland once again. Although this time it was only for a night stopover, it wasn’t a regret except for the WiFi connection seemed to be working slower than last year. It did work, though. Maybe because this time I was on the fourth...
